脱了鞋走在雨中
Kicked off my shoes, walking in the rain
心中有一点失重
My heart feels a bit unanchored
把一切掏空
Emptying everything out
也许你不懂
Maybe you don’t understand
我已经失去太多
I've already lost so much
让雨水打在面容
Let the rain wash over my face
有点想哭的冲动
A little urge to cry awakens
等不到感动
I can't wait for the emotion
看不到彩虹
I can't see the rainbow
应该怎么去爱你
How should I love you?
应该怎么留住你
How should I keep you near?
你是永远那么不在意
You seem to care so little, always remote.
想要试着去恨你
I want to try to hate you,
却又无法面对你
Yet I can't face you at all.
爱情对你来说
For you, love is like,
让雨水打在面容
Letting the rain fall on your face.
有点想哭的冲动
An urge to cry creeps in,
等不到感动
But I'm left waiting for emotion.
看不到彩虹
I can't see the rainbow,
抓不住你说的梦
And I can't grasp the dreams you speak of.
应该怎么去爱你
How should I love you?
应该怎么留住你
How should I keep you here?
你是永远那么不在意
You always seem so indifferent,
爱情对你来说
Love means nothing to you.
